Borromean rings are a set of three circles that are interconnected in such a way that the three are connected, but removing any one results in none of the rings being connected. Borromean Rings can be thought of as a representation of pairwise independence that is not full independence. Independence is represented by two rings that are not connected while connected rings are dependent. The three rings together are connected (dependent) while any pair is not connected (pairwise independent).
